skimming books
October 28, 2008
I am a cover to cover reader. Sometimes it takes a while to get from cover to cover, but it does eventually happen. Rarely do I abandon a book. And I am not a book skimmer. Being a book skimmer would make my life so much easier this week, but instead I have oodles of [...]

bookmooch and eco-libris join forces
January 28, 2008
I’ve mentioned both BookMooch and Eco-Libris here before, and Paul of BibliOdyssey fame recently informed me that these two great projects have formed a partnership of sorts. Eco-Libris sells a $1 sticker you can put on the back of a book that indicates that Eco-Libris will plant a tree with that $1. Now, for every [...]
